On Thursday, April 3, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga men\u2019s basketball team won the first National Invitation Tournament in University history.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When the 85-84 overtime victory occurred, handfuls of reporters, sports writers, photographers and videographers were in attendance to capture the moment.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Among them were five UTC communication students\u2014Mallori Crocker, Sydney Banks, Zoie Denton, Emma Sutherland and Trevor Jolley\u2014who traveled to the Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis to capture content and represent their student media groups.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A look at the work the students produced and what they had to say about it:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mallori Crocker, Mocs News anchor<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Crocker covered the tournament for Mocs News\u2014the University\u2019s student broadcast channel\u2014capturing game footage, crowd reactions and the final moments on video.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cExperiencing the winning moment was genuinely unparalleled,\u201d said Crocker, a sophomore from Bowling Green, Kentucky. \u201cThe energy in the arena was electrifying … Being at a game when your team nails victory is always a blast, but this particular game was nothing short of magical.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to her work for Mocs News, Crocker took over UTC\u2019s main Instagram account, @utchattanooga, posting daily stories and behind-the-scenes updates.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Her access to players, fans and high-profile attendees gave her the opportunity to create content from multiple perspectives.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>I conducted some fantastic interviews with passionate fans, Interim Chancellor Robert Dooley and the illustrious Terrell Owens, a former UTC student and Hall of Fame football player,\u201d she said.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Crocker also made professional connections with media members covering the game.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI met amazing journalists from the Chattanooga Times Free Press, Local 3 and even ESPN,\u201d she said. \u201cThey let me watch how they communicate and produce live content.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Between games, she and the other students explored Indianapolis. One outing to a duckpin bowling alley turned into an unexpected three-hour stay when the power went out during tornado warnings.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAll we could do was hang around and play some basketball,\u201d she said.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She called the experience a standout moment in her college career.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI had the unique opportunity to work closely with several of my professors … reminding me that we are all united by our passion for journalism,\u201d she said. \u201cI would be neglectful not to extend a heartfelt shoutout to Professor Jim Tanner and Professor Mike Andrews. Their unwavering support and guidance were key in making this trip not just possible, but truly transformative.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sydney Banks’ University Echo story.<\/p><\/div>\n

Sydney Banks, assistant sports editor for The Echo<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Banks attended the tournament as a writer for UTC\u2019s student news publication, The Echo, balancing reporting and editing responsibilities.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy role was to serve as a credentialed writer while fulfilling my editing duties,\u201d she said. \u201cThroughout the week, I prepared my game notes and stats in the media workroom and sat in the media section to watch the game, taking notes for game recaps and features to be posted on The Echo website. I also edited the stories written by Zoie Denton, the staff writer who was in attendance.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Banks wrote recaps and feature stories using box scores, interviews and observations.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI took notes on significant moments, key plays, player emotions, the crowd atmosphere and impactful moments to add depth to my content,\u201d she said.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She interviewed several players during open practices and attended postgame press conferences. She also wrote a student and fan experience story and had the chance to speak with Owens.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA fun highlight was asking Terrell Owens a couple of questions about his attendance at the game,\u201d Banks said. \u201cThis opportunity came about thanks to our @utchattanooga page Instagram takeover.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When the buzzer sounded, Banks said staying objective was tough.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough I was there working for The Echo, it was a little hard to maintain my professional front as a journalist during the winning moment,\u201d she said. \u201cI felt a deep sense of pride for our school and basketball program.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Outside of coverage, Banks said the trip strengthened friendships among her Echo colleagues.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe typically only work together, but this trip gave us the chance to sightsee, enjoy quality downtime in between games and work, and share meals,\u201d she said.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt felt really special to be part of such a significant trip\u2014not only covering history for our athletic department but also making history for our communication department and student media.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sutherland spent the tournament behind the camera, capturing action and celebration from every angle.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI was able to capture many different plays during each game, such as layups at the goal, a player driving through defense and even the dunk at the end of the semifinals,\u201d she said.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Being on the floor for the final buzzer was a moment she won\u2019t forget.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTo be there for the winning moment was definitely something I had to pause and take in for a minute,\u201d she said. \u201cIt was a moment where I did not think I would really ever get to experience something like that. Not only was it cool to just be there\u2014but to be able to capture some amazing celebration photos was fantastic.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sutherland said exploring the city between games was a highlight as well.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI got to see many different parts of Indianapolis that were so interesting, like the NCAA Hall of Champions and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway,\u201d she said. \u201cI come from a very small town in Alabama with not much of anything, so just to travel and see things like that is always so fun to me.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She said the group\u2019s shared experience made the trip especially meaningful.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI just really appreciate the people I traveled with,\u201d she said. \u201cWe are all such good friends now and we all worked as a team while we were there. We were just able to bounce ideas off of each other and get so many things done for the school to be able to see how big this moment was in UTC history.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Trevor Jolley, sports editor for The Echo<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As sports editor for The Echo, Jolley organized the coverage of the tournament and served as both a photographer and reporter on site.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy first duty involved gathering a staff to cover the tournament,\u201d said Jolley, a senior and Chattanooga native. \u201cOnce we got to the tournament, I served as a photographer for The Echo and the Chattanooga Times Free Press.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He shot in-game action, postgame celebrations and feature moments from around the arena. After the buzzer sounded, he joined the celebration on the court.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the clock hit zero, it was a feeling like no other,\u201d he said. \u201cRunning out on the court and capturing the moments that those guys, as well as myself, will never forget\u2014it was something words cannot do justice.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jolley followed the team closely throughout the season and said the championship moment felt like a culmination.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEven on the final shot of the season, time stood still watching the ball roll around the rim\u2014but just like with so many other moments in the season, the chips fell Chattanooga\u2019s way and the stars aligned in perfect unison.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the most memorable moments was getting to hold the championship trophy and clipping a piece of the net to take home.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWith my pockets full of confetti, braided net in hand and a phone with a moment I\u2019ll never forget, those few moments feel like eternity in my head and I know I\u2019ll never forget it,\u201d he said.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jolley\u2019s photos appeared in the Times Free Press.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGrowing up in Chattanooga, I remember running out in my driveway on Sunday mornings to pick up that week\u2019s edition of the paper,\u201d he said. \u201cI would have never imagined that in 10-15 years, my work would be in that same paper I used to get delivered to my house.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He said the experience taught him the value of saying yes to significant opportunities.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI know there are assignments to be completed, bills to be paid, plans to be completed and any other excuse under the sun. I\u2019ve dealt with them all,\u201d Jolley said. \u201cBut none of them compare to the experience I had during this week covering the NIT. Moments like these have the power to change your life.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jolley also credited the team effort behind the scenes.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI could not have done this without the excellent work of my team,\u201d he said. \u201cBetween the excellent writing and engaging features from Sydney Banks and Zoie Denton to the life-like moments captured in photos by Emma Sutherland, and with the guidance and chauffeuring of Professor Jim Tanner, the work we captured was a team effort.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jim Tanner, who the students credited for making their trip possible, is a lecturer in the UTC Department of Communication.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI need to take a moment of personal privilege to brag about this group of University of Tennessee at Chattanooga student journalists and communication majors,\u201d Tanner wrote in a LinkedIn post.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI had a vision for how this could help our students and started working to put a plan together within hours of the Mocs\u2019 win over Bradley in the NIT quarterfinals. With help from my bosses, funding became available. Then I needed students willing to take on this challenge.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He expressed his pride in the students, saying they dug deep for stories, videos and photos.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThese guys have bright futures,\u201d he said. \u201cPlus, they were a lot of fun to be around and put up with me for a week. I am so happy they got this experience (and that I got to experience it with them) and am very proud of all their hard work.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
